Loeb calls Narwain's 'Free Fall' "Compelling…Noir"

(This concerns to a friend of mine, Gianluca Piredda, a fabulous writer...)
This month Narwain is pleased to launch its first titles onto the U.S. market. Topping the list of eclectic, high-quality books is the modern noir story, "Free Fall", a crime thriller that comic creator and TV producer Jeph Loeb calls a "vortex of danger and the unexpected."
Written by Gianluca Piredda with art by Eric J and Jimmy Palmiotti and colors by David Bryant, "Free Fall" details the account of a band of thieves circling an impossible target and their innovative but morbid scheme for pulling off the most dangerous bank heist.
Loeb is well known to comic fans as the writer of "Batman: Hush" and "The Long Halloween" (among many others), and to TV fans as a producer on "Smallville." On top of that he'll soon to be joining the crew of the mega-hit series "Lost." Still, he was passionate enough about "Free Fall" to provide an introduction for the book.
The story, according to Loeb is bred from the swamp of a new, 21st century noir.
"Gianluca Piredda's passion for [noir] stories may have been born out of his Italian heritage, but in 'Free Fall' he demonstrates an understanding of world -- and some would say American -- present day thinking," writes Loeb.
"Free Fall" #1 features stunning cover art by Jay Anacleto and Brian Haberlin. It is the first of a three issue mini series, due in comic shops this month. The book is 32 full color pages with a cover price of $3.99.

I've seen things you people would not believe...


One of the most embarrassing moments of my life: the day I personally gave this portrait to Mr. Rutger Hauer during the Fantastic Films Festival of Malaga. A full theatre with about five hundred people, and Roy Batty. I got nervous as hell... but he really enjoyed it!!

New Orleans and Jazz


Narwain is launching a benefit book for the victims of the Katrina hurricane in New Orleans. I've done a four page comic that will be included in this book, called "New Orleans and Jazz". This is the first page of it.

I'm currently working mainly for two publishers: Mongoose Publishing in UK (www.mongoosepublishing.com) and Narwain, in Italy (www.narwain.com), and also preparing a work along wite lovely writer Leslie Lancaster, a book called "In me a million stars".
My graphic novel Grunland will be published thru Narwain in early 2006.
